Which Kaspersky version did you get with ASUS ROG mobo?

Can you guys with very latest ASUS ROG motherboards (Formula 3, Rampage 3 Gene etc) check your motherboard disc for what ASUS Kaspersky did you get with it?
I'm asking because i've got KAV 7.0 with it, which stupidly doesn't work with Windows 7 (at all).
License doesn't seem to be upgradeable to any higher so i'm stuck with a program that was outdated from the start (which is lame, considering this was also one of the reasons why i picked ROG class mobo). Checking Kaspersky page and version 9.0 (2010) already supports Win7.

So, which version did you get with your latest ROG mobo?

Thx

that seems weird, most kaspersky keys can be upgraded.

have you tried installing the trial of the latest version, and merely entering the key?

edit: holy crap, we have the same join date :P

I've just tried installing KAV2011 over and even though it did upgraded, it refused to accept ASUS license. Lame and stupid. That's why i'm asking if anyone with ROG motherboard got any newer version of Kaspersky with it.

damn.


well it depends when the motherboard was made i guess, if you got an older board, you'd get an older kaspersky with it - they dont magically update the disk in the box when you order it :P


try contacting asus and kaspersky, you may be able to get a free upgrade or discount, respectively.

It was not old, also KAV was already outdated when i bought it (version 8.0 was already out when i bought it or was it 9.0). I was asking on KAV forums but they said it cannot be updated and that it's an ASUS problem not theirs. Which is stupid. Why supply AV with it if it's outdated out of the box. And the whole point of AV is to be always up to date.

No, i'd like to have casual KAV (not KIS), just not a version from the last decade but something more recent...

The version goes by when the mobo was 1st released not buy when you brought the mobo.

I had it with mine too and was not able use a newer version.


Maybe complain to ASUS as you would think that it be supported by. Some times they do updates too so check there site.

The thing is, you can't download it from their site. You only get it on disc that comes with the mobo. Same goes for 3DMark 2003 which i got with it. It's on the disc but not on their webpage.
I'll see what i can do, but i'm not hoping too much on ASUS as my country falls under eastern europe and tech support is crappy at best for this region. Maybe in some other way...

@RejZoR,

I believe (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) that the Kaspersky that come with Asus mobos is only a 'trial' version. That is most likely why the key will not work on a 'full' version.

However, why not ask Kaspersky?

they give you a full version, but usually only for 30 or 60 days (which is longer than the 14 day trial)


since he got such an old version of kaspersky, i can only assume he bought an older motherboard - he never specified what board it was, that i could see.

The license that came with it was for full 1 year (and whenever you installed it you got 1 year). The board is in my system specs. It's the ASUS Rampage II Gene...

I mean if they do go the way to offer software with it, it should at least be upgradeable. Especially antivirus software since it's crucial to have it always up to date.

scaminatrix supplied me just the key because he is on a crappy net connection, but i can't use that very key with a commercial version. It has to be the complete ASUS installer. Can anyone else with ASUS ROG mobo and KAV2010 (KAV 9.0) supply it to me? It's not the latest version (which is KAV2011 v11), but it works with Win7.
Thx

This seems like a lot of work just to use software that has free alternatives that are just as good(or better)...

A few off the top of my head:

AVG Free
Avira
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials

All do just as good of a job, and there really isn't any reason anyone would need more than what they offer.

OK, all I know is, when I bought my SE in 2007, it came with a 6 month version that would not update to a newer release. I suppose Asus has wised up since then?
